also making sure you are logged in near time for the new item/link. some people, myself included use multiple devices or browser windows (one for reloading page, and the other for typing the bit.ly in )

There's always an element of chance in getting one too. The server farm serves up pages non-simultaneously. So you won't know it but sometimes you luck out and see the page a few moments before most others and that is the prime opportunity to score. Just keep on trying. Eventually if you are lucky and fast you will get one.

I take it the bit.ly link thing is a newer idea, because when I was reading about the bags people were mentioning using wootalyzer which would not only alert you of the bag but also was able to open the "I want one" page.

yes, this way makes it easier for anyone to get one.

A script isn't able to read the text in the picture so this easily reduces the chance of those offenders and makes it fair for everyone
